尼希米记 6:3 CUNPSS

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 6:1-19

BUILDING THE WALLS PRAYER AND ITS ANSWER (Nehemiah 1-2:8) In this book it is to be kept in mind that the previous commissions to Zembbabel and Ezra concerned only the repair of the temple at Jerusalem, and certain internal arrangements for the moral and material well-being of the people in their home towns. The walls and gates of the city, however, were still in the ruined condition in which they were left by Nebuchadnezzar after the siege. The consequences were detrimental to the people’s... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Nehemiah 6:1-19

The Work Finished Nehemiah 6:0 WE read that Sanballat and Tobiah, and the rest of the enemies of the Jews, invited Nehemiah to a conference in one of the villages in the plain of Ono. "And I [Nehemiah] sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?" ( Neh 6:3 ). Do we know what work is? Really very few people have an adequate conception of work. The difficulty which we feel in going... read more

(1) ¶ Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates;) (2) That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief. (3) And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Nehemiah 6:1-9

1-9 Let those who are tempted to idle merry meetings by vain companions, thus answer the temptation, We have work to do, and must not neglect it. We must never suffer ourselves to be overcome, by repeated urgency, to do anything sinful or imprudent; but when attacked with the same temptation, must resist it with the same reason and resolution. It is common for that which is desired only by the malicious, to be falsely represented by them as desired by the many. But Nehemiah knew at what they... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Nehemiah 6:1-99

Nehemiah 6 CHAPTER 6 DISCLOSES to us that, as the building of the wall neared completion the opposition from without was intensified, and took on more subtle forms. The first we might characterize as compromise, with a desire to inflict hurt, in this case evidently mischief of a personal sort. The request that there should be a conference in some village on the plain of Ono seemed reasonable enough then. In our day such a conference would have a special appeal, for all over the world nations... read more

The Enmity of Sanballat v. 1. Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, the same men who had tried to make trouble before, Nehemiah 2:10-Psalms :; Nehemiah 4:1-Judges :, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein, (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates, the openings being finished, but the massive doors themselves having not yet been hung,) v. 2. that Sanballat and Geshem sent... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Nehemiah 6:1-19

a Great Task-A Safeguard from Danger Nehemiah 6:1-19 How often Satan tries to call us off from our work for God! He cannot endure to see us engaged so eagerly on our Master’s business and therefore raises up all sorts of hindrances and hostilities. Amid all these we have but one duty to perform. We must lose ourselves in our work. Ours to reply, “I am doing a great work, I cannot come down; why should the work cease?” If we will see to God’s business, He will see to our safety. False... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Nehemiah 6:1-19

In this chapter we have the account of the continuity of opposition to the work of Nehemiah. It moved, however, on to a new plane. Having begun in contempt, and proceeded through conspiracy, it now attempted to accomplish its end by subtlety. Affecting friendship, the enemies of Nehemiah four times proposed conference with him, which he resolutely declined, and pressed forward with his work. This was followed by a slanderous open letter, which he was urged to consider. Again, with singular... read more
